Virtual Camera to start
Current Behavior
Virtual Camera does not start. All permissions have been accepted except the camera extension as I cannot toggle it in the Login Items & Extensions

- Pop message saying the virtual camera is not installed, please allow OBS to install system software in System Setting -> Privacy & Security -> Security
- Go the the system settings as indicated, there is no message to allow OBS extension.
- Go to the system settings, Login Items & Extensions, click on Camera Extensions, Toggle OBS, getting the pop with the Failed to enable...shared in current behavior
Anything else we should know?
This is a fresh install of this version of OBS on my MAC. I never installed or got it to work before.

Start with the OBS log at https://obsproject.com/logs/k6QEqxX9iMuJy1Qd and reproduce the steps on macOS 15.1.1 with OBS 30.2.3, focusing on the Login Items & Extensions > Camera Extensions failure and the virtual-camera installation prompt. Done means the OBS camera extension can be enabled and Start Virtual Camera succeeds.
